Yeah plugs and leads are in the right order it's just not firring, I've just replaced the dizzy cap and rotar arm so there all new, I'll check the plugs tomorrow and see if it's that, I'll also try changing the leads over, but there brand new as we'll

 

This statement suggests that you should double check the firing order as per Dklawsons link and note that the order is:- 

 

1342 counterclockwise. As Dk says if you have it wrong as per his description, it will give the symptoms you describe.

Right leads were in the right order so removed all the plugs and I had spark at all of them obviously 1&2 were really wet so it was over fueling, so I adjusted the weber fueling and problem is solved. Quick test run and it's seems to be sorted.

Thanks for the help guys
